LAKEPORT >> National Nurses Week is wrapping up, and what better time to recognize a group of individuals who help put the heart in our community’s healthcare.
“Our nursing staff plays a crucial role in patient outcomes and experience,” said Sutter Lakeside Chief Administrative Officer Siri Nelson. “Our thanks go out to our nurses this week and every week for their dedication and hard work to provide outstanding care to patients.”
Every day, Sutter Lakeside Hospital nurses perform a wide variety of duties that directly benefit patients and promote and advocate for their rights, health and safety. The hospital recently introduced new royal blue scrubs to make it easy for patients to recognize Registered Nurses.
“Our nurses deliver high-quality care with compassion and professionalism,” said Chief Nursing Executive Teresa Campbell. “I’m very proud to lead this team of wonderful people and outstanding healthcare providers.”
National Nurses Day ends on May 12 because that’s the birthday of Florence Nightingale, known as the founder of professional nursing for her pioneering work during the Crimean War from 1853 to 1856. Because of her habit of making night rounds, she became known as “The Lady with the Lamp.”
Sutter Lakeside is a not-for-profit community hospital that has a 65+ year history of serving Lake County. Any profits that Sutter Lakeside generates are reinvested into healthcare.
